Ok so James Farrior gets fined for apparently being rude to the dawg pound in Cleveland after they got happy over Ryan Clark's injury.

And of course no fines were levied on Shaun Fatcheeks Rogers for lowering his helmet into a 9 figure paid player....

Gotta love the NFL. Sure does love to see its upstarts win.

rogers wasn't even penalized while woodley was???

Yeah and that was garbage. You gotta let the players play. I hate the fact that because he Tackled Anderson AS HE THREW he gets a penalty. Didnt lower his head, didnt touch helmets, no facemask, just a clean tackle.

I totally want to protect the QB's in the league, but if a guys arm is still in motion hes fair game.

On the opposite side, when the guys arm is gone and hes been watching the ball in the air like Ben was, then Rogers should have been ejected in my opinion.

It's the biggest bunch of BS; Rogers took a blatant cheap shot and the NFL is just looking the other way. mike pereira needs to take off the blinders!

Whats puzzling to me is why they dont seem to take as much care of Ben. Granted hes like goliath out there, but seriously this is the worlds BIGGEST NFL Team when you consider fan base. Wouldn't you realize your sales will drop if this team melts because Ben gets mauled?

This franchise has a value into the Billion mark now, and you're just gonna let it go when their QB gets railed?

Yea i was surprised by that as well...The NFL is notorious for watching film and goin back and fining people..matter of fact i wouldn't have been surprised if they would have fined Hines for the"marking his spot move". But to turn the cheek on the cheap shot..damn,they really dropped the ball on that one.:evilshake:

See at this point I'd think Rogers is in the clear. They already doled out the bills for this game. Usually they fine by the game and if there were others in this game to hit up they would have.

Don't worry about it. I'm sure our defense saw and they'll take care of it next time. We'll just bust Derek up and say **** the fine. :tt02:

Woodley wrapped up DA and drove him to the ground. Fat boy hit BR after the throw - cheap as it was - but didn't wrap him up and fall on him (good thing). Wood's play was more visible because of the tackle. But Fatboy's was clearly a cheap shot at a known injury. I assume the officials felt like he didn't continue through the hit so they let it go (also not a head shot). I'm not surprised by the NFL's position. Time to move on - Karma is going to be tuff on the Stains - they are already 0-2 and going into Baltimore after they got a bye last week.

Goodell just issued a statement that first time offenders of hits with "intent to harm" can be suspended. That means Goodell now has even more control to manipulate match-ups and outcomes of games. He will be suspending star players in the playoffs, screwing teams, just because he has a cool mil down on the Cowboys. Not a big fan of Goodell and the way he handled this game.

I cannot believe that fat butt Rogers is going to get away with that cheap shot. Unreal. If it had happened to any other QB, I have no doubts that the penalty would have been called on the field. But Ben? No, I guess they think he can handle being drilled into the ground.

Got that right. $700.000 for three rings. Not a bad price to pay.
If they dont cheat Kordell gets a ring, and he doesn't get all that crap.

Do you think the Steelers would have beaten the Rams?

Dean Denton

Do you think the Steelers would have beaten the Rams?
I really do, and not because I'm a Steeler geek. I think that they were the best team in the league with the Raiders being #2. The Rams would have lost by 10 or 14 points. Our Def was faster than that show on turf, and they didn't play anyone as good as us all year. The Bus would have rolled up big numbers against them... I think about 150. That would have been the revenge game for him, and nothing would have stopped him. We would have controlled the clock for about 35-40 minutes. Barring turnovers, its a route...

Mechem

09-19-2008, 07:19 PM

Honestly that would have been a heck of a matchup. Those Steelers were some dang good men up front and I think Faulk wouldnt have been so great. I would have to say though Kurt Warner is some QB though.

I think we could have won because of the simple fact that Bettis was more or less invincible at that point in time.

You guys should cool off about calling people cheaters. Steelers did take out palmer, also a horrible called superbowl against the hawks.

Also, did someone really just cheer for USC?? thats sad. show some class for crying out loud. Even michigan will root for OSU in a game like that. USC is turning into the bengals of college football.

UCS is the best team over the last 6 or 7 years. They have the best coach at that level. Ohio State is the most over-rated team in the last 5 years. Go Pac 10. Bungles of college huh? The only reason they dont win the national championship ever year is because of east coast Bias....No team can deal with that speed. They only lose to other Pac 10 teams.

there the bengals of college football because they have a couple of guys going to jail.

USC have been very good, because there all about football, where at OSU we care about are players on and off the field. Also this is college level, where 1 guy can make a huge difference, If beanie wells played and was healthy, no question the whole game would be different. He goes for over 100yds couple TDs, plus opens the field for todd to air it out(does have a great arm), and pryor can come in and run. Not saying buckeyes would win, but would be very close.

Mechem: cici was winning that game and palmer was doing well. they most likely would have won.

USc is not real fast like LSU or flordia was and are, besides there running back who will never cut it in the pros. USC had a bye week to get ready, home field, + no beanie = win for them.

Please, the hit on Palmer was clean. Bringing up the Super Bowl AGAIN? There is nothing anyone can do about it, so I suggest you let it go. Maybe you should go to a Browns board and give your fellow fans a pep talk on how the season isn't over and blah blah.

I don't like USC but they have been the most consistent team over the last several years. Now how many consecutive championship games has Ohio lost?

Um.. lol. Palmer was doing well?? yeah, his ONE and only pass was completed. Score was 0 - 0 when Palmer went down. Kitna lead them to 17 points and were up 17 - 7 at one point. The rest is history, 31 - 17 final.

So to say Palmer was doing well.. is well.. :hilarious:

We're calling them "cheaters" because they did cheat. It's not some rumor or a bunch of pi**ed off Steeler fans, it's the truth! There is lots of proof of it also.

The Carson Palmer hit was clean and didn't matter anyway because with him they still would have been beaten. IF the Super Bowl was cheated it was the refs fault.
